"Best budget bass on the market"

Sound:
The bass has very warm tone and loads of growl. You can dial in a wide variety of tones from a Fender Jazz to Precision. Tends to be more tight and punchy (read less boomy) than a Fender Jazz but comes close to mimicking the other tonal qualities. Just about nails the Precision but with more agression. The pickups are passive but the electronics are active full time but it doesn't kill the warm tone at all. You can take it very bright to very dark and it responds well at all settings. The body and neck are very resonant and the bass sounds excellent unplugged - an important factor for a good instrument.
Feature:
Thin fast neck with a maple fretboard that is as straight as an arrow. Very lightweight body with good quality paint. The white color isn't a super bright white, a bit gentler, and has an irridescent like effect due to the light metallic fleck - not like the obvious chunky glitter like finish of their newer SR300's with the rosewood fretboards. Passive humbucking pickups and active electronics with a "slap" control that basically actively cuts mids.
Quality:
Build quality, paint job and materials are all excellent. The neck and fret job are as good as my USA Fender Jazz (albeit thinner) and the neck pocket is tight. The tone pots aren't all that great - they are very responsive and move well but get scratchy quickly. The plastic plate covering the active electronics was cut poorly - a bit rough around the edges - but its against my body anyway.
Value:
I challenge you to find a better bass for under $400. The Ibanez SR300 and SR300M series are winners.
Overall:
This bass should be on the short list of every budget minded bassist. Excellent build quality where it counts, great tone and tons of flexibility. The maple fretboard is awesome and not a normal feature within this price range.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?
